Playing in the Willow…

2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00

We know the Willow has a bit of growing to do before the houses, tunnel and discovery wall are complete. However, we couldn't resist taking the children up to the Forest Village today to show them. We are so glad that we did. The children were so excited about the new structures and it filled us with so much joy [...]

Hello and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! One week in and we have all been having a great time at Stepping Stones already. It has been lovely to come back and welcome some new faces. With that in mind, it seems like a good time to remind you that after Christmas we start to get a lot busier. [...]

NEWSFLASH!!! STEPPING STONES HAVE GONE COMPLETELY BARKING MAD!!!

2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00

Last Friday we stood at the Stepping Stones class window and watched the tractor deliver and dump 8 tonne of wood bark to the Forest Village (thank you Travis Perkins). At which point it seemed absolutely crazy to not get the little ones geared up into their waterproofs and up to the space to get stuck in. The aim was [...]

Consider it Cleared! Forest Village – Chapter Two

2022-08-18T13:27:07+01:00

After more hard work this weekend, the Forest Village is now well and truly clear,  ready for the ground sheets and bark to go down. The boundaries have now also been laid out using fallen twigs and branches from the space. So far we haven't had to bring in anything new or take anything out, we've simply worked with what [...]

Stepping Stones off to Dragons Den!

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

On Friday morning we had to postpone planned activities to make room for the children’s extremely strong desire to hoover. Naturally we weren’t inclined to argue and just decided to go with it. Let’s face it, as we all know, any opportunity that should arise in which young people decide to help out domestically should not be taken for granted. [...]

We are so glad that we did! Since then it has become [...]

Rainy days and Mondays…

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

It's Monday, it's raining but nothing gets us down at Stepping Stones. We had a great time exploring The Three Little Pigs last week. It was great fun huffing and puffing all over the place. The children loved making houses out of hay, sticks and stones outside in forest school and trying to blow them back down again. We also [...]

Stepping Stones – Weekly Topics

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

We have had a great first day back at Stepping Stones today. It's been very chilled out, allowing the children to settle back in smoothly. The atmosphere has been really lovely. At Stepping Stones we follow a termly theme, very similar to in reception. What we do is break the terms down into weekly topics which are related to the [...]

2022-08-18T13:27:08+01:00

With highs of 26 degrees expected this afternoon, the weather couldn't be any more different to what we have been experiencing over the last few weeks. And we welcome the sun with open arms. However, nothing stops us at Stepping Stones, come rain or shine. When the outdoor calls, out we must go. So last Wednesday, after enduring many a [...]
